CTV is absolute garbage here in Saskatchewan.

Here's my complaint:
This is beyond disturbing. Protecting CTV viewers from fact checking due to right wing trolls.

Do you have no shame?

Rehire Rachel Gilmore & issue a full apology.

Unless you remedy this, I will be advocating for the non-renewal of your license.

CTV looks bad already, kowtowing to the conservatives constantly.

If 'reporting facts' isn't the foundation a senior producer at CTV works from then they're not a news organization they're either an ad agency or a propaganda arm. It's not a bad look, it's a disqualifying look.

Hiring her in the first place was a mistake.

What's your problem with fact checking?

waynesplanet.bsky.social•2 days ago

Absolutely nothing, but it needs to be done from a non biased source and it needs to be correct.

ryanlindsay.bsky.social•2 days ago

No such thing as an unbiased source in this world. What fact checking did she get wrong on that brief stint?

But she is a well known leftist, I’m quite sure they could have found someone centred for that role.
She said when Turner became PM the house had adjourned for summer, she was called out on it and tried to argue the fact on X.
A simple google search proved she was wrong.
Way too much drama.

kowtowing to political pressure IS a bad look - for ANYONE

One might also suggest that applying this sort of political pressure is a bad look for those who did it.

Ffs though!
